Abney and Associates: Google just debunked the top 10 myths about Glass

Google
Denies That Glass Explorers Are ' Technology-Worshipping Geeks, ' And Debunks
Other Common Myths

"Myths
can be fun, but they can also be confusing or unsettling," Google writes
on its Glass Google + page. "And if spoken
enough, they can morph into something that resembles fact. (Side note: did you
know that people used to think that travelling too quickly on a train would
damage the human body?) "

Some
of these myths range from, "Glass Explorers are technology-worshipping
geeks" to "Glass is banned... EVERYWHERE. "

All
in all, Google stresses the fact that Glass is still in its prototype stage and
is not quite ready for prime time. It also debunked rumours that Glass
Explorers are tech nerds, pointing out that they come from all walks of life.

The Top 10 Google Glass Myths

Mr.
Rogers was a Navy SEAL. A tooth placed in soda will dissolve in 24 hours.
Gators roam the sewers of big cities and Walt Disney is cryogenically frozen.
These are just some of the most common and — let's admit it — awesome urban
myths out there.

Myths can be fun, but they can also be confusing
or unsettling. And if spoken enough, they can morph into something that
resembles fact. (Side note: did you know that people used to think that
travelling too quickly on a train would damage the human body?)

In
its relatively short existence, Glass has seen some myths develop around it.
While we are flattered by the attention, we thought it might make sense to
tackle them, just to clear the air. And besides, everyone loves a good list:

When
cameras first hit the consumer market in the late 19th century, people declared
an end to privacy. Cameras were banned in parks, at national monuments and on
beaches. People feared the same when the first cell phone cameras came out.
Today, there are more cameras than ever before. In ten years there will be even
more cameras, with or without Glass. 150 + years of cameras and eight years of
YouTube are a good indicator of the kinds of photos and videos people
capture–from our favourite cat videos to dramatic, perspective-changing looks
at environmental destruction, government crackdowns, and everyday human
miracles.
